Birth Defects and Medical Malpractice
Every four and half minutes, a baby in the United States is born with a birth defect. These birth defects could have a lasting impact on the lives of those affected.
Different classifications and identifiers of cases can lead to an over- or under-estimated number of birth defects. A well-designed system includes active case ascertainment that includes medical record abstraction and a clinical review as well as passive reporting.
Causes
A baby born with an injury or defect may have long-term health consequences. Birth defects could be caused by medical errors or negligence of doctors during pregnancy.
In certain cases, birth defects can be avoided by prenatal care and the right nutrition. In other cases, they can be caused by environmental factors like exposure to dangerous chemicals or toxic substances. Birth defects may also be caused by complications that happen during pregnancy, such as constriction of the uterus rupture of the amniotic sac, or the inability to supply oxygen to the foetus (also known as anoxic brain injury).
Certain birth defects result from genetic diseases which run in families. They can be identified by a blood test or ultrasound. Certain of these diseases can be prevented or treated with the help of a specialist, such as PKU, sickle cell disease and cleft lip and cleft palate. Certain birth defects aren't identified as a cause. They are referred to as congenital disorders, also known as congenital abnormalities.
Women over 30 and women of certain ethnicities are at an increased chance of developing birth defects. Couples with an identical history of genetic diseases might want to consult a genetic counsellor before attempting to conceive. This will help them determine if further testing is needed. Screening tests for newborns can help identify certain conditions, like critical congenital heart defects, as well as certain infections, that can be treated immediately.
Diagnosis
A birth defect is an abnormal growth that affects any body part, affecting the way that organs function or the structure of the body. A healthcare professional can spot birth defects during pregnancy and after the baby is born or during the early years of childhood. Some birth defects are noticeable, like cleft lips and palates, or craniofacial disorders while others are less obvious, such as congenital heart disease and biliary atresia (an obstruction of the duct that transports the bile into the liver).
Many birth defect disorders can be identified by newborn screening tests that look for certain types of health problems. PKU Congenital Hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease are just a few of the conditions that can be detected through newborn screening tests. Newborn screening is also a way to identify certain genetic disorders, like Down syndrome. A healthcare professional can detect some birth defects by using ultrasounds during pregnancy as well as blood tests, based on the kind of defect.
It isn't always possible to determine the cause of a birth defect. However the environment is often involved. This could include exposure to prescription or over-the-counter drugs, chemical substances that pollute the water and air in communities, or complications arising during pregnancy or the birth. Sometimes, birth defects arise because a doctor did not take the appropriate steps to treat or prevent an illness that is known to be medically prone. In these cases the possibility of a claim for medical malpractice could be filed.
Treatment
If a birth defect is recognized, the treatment options differ based on the type and severity of the defect. Some birth defects can be corrected before the baby is born. Others might require medical intervention or surgery after the baby's birth.
Some of the most common disorders are chromosomal. They are caused by missing or extra genes in a person’s cells. These are usually inherited from parents. Birth defects with structural causes include things like cleft lip, neural tube defects and heart problems. These are typically caused by issues with the development of a baby's organs, specifically during the first three months of pregnancy.
Screening tests for birth defects can be performed during pregnancy, after a person is born, or later on in life when the first signs begin to show. The tests can be carried out through ultrasounds or blood tests. A person may undergo a genetic test for birth defects to determine if they are predisposed to a particular disease.
Preventing birth defects isn't always straightforward. Some are caused by issues that occur during a woman's pregnancy, while others can be traced back to environmental factors. Birth defects can be caused by the use of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs during pregnancy. Some birth defects can also be caused by chemicals that are found in the environment. This includes pesticides as well as herbalicides such as Agent Orange, which was used during the Vietnam War between 1962 and 1971.
